If you look at the bottom right part of the picture, there's a yellow spot.
ScottGT, I hope you don't mind me using one of your pictures :D at the moment I don't have the yellow spotting to take a picture of.

I get these yellow spots on my car, and also my parents cars. They are a PAIN to remove. How can I take these off without stripping LSP? They don't seem to come off LSP :(

Likely sap ,sometimes birdie pee-pee, and even pollen when wet and dried. Good protection helps. Soak with qd'er for a moment then wipe is another.

Bird pee pee lol. Man, that stuff is like glue. If QD doesn't work, what else can I do?

If its tree sap you could use methol hydrate, but that will strip your wax/sealant

Hey if it is just a bird count your blessings, I have Geese, ducks an Hearings(Green an Blue an ocassional Sand Krane) That could and have bombarded my Vehicles. Heerings are the worst when startled. Like a Saint Bernard when startled.

Thanks guys.

Koiby, pray that an Owl never drops bombs! They have some huge droppings :eek:

JDM, never heard of methol hydrate.

ScottGT, Wow I'm surprised the T Rex didn't pee all over!

I guess I'm just gonna have to do the QD way.

I don't like using my nail, my dad does that though :( lol. I guess claying is the only way if it won't come off being soaked with QD. I'd just have to rewax.

Here in Virginia I get these green-yellow mini-helicopter seed like things from a poplar tree in my yard. This stuff can set like petrified wood in a couple of days. I have tried clay, gasoline, tar remover, compound by hand and get most of it off. Sometimes it still leaves a stain that I can see but not feel. I agree bird poop/pee is tought but still not as bad as this stuff. There is some good news about it only coming once a year for about thirty days. That beats the 365 days a year the winged critters can visit you.
I have a question. Do I need to get a decoder for the shorthand or just visit more often to get the hang of it?
